Filter Releated DynamicContent
Hi
I'am stroggling with this Query that should list colors in a dropdownlist. The colors are selected on a product and are stored in a releated table. All seem to Work fine exept for the filtered Collection. Anyone have an iden??
Many thanks in advance :-)))
Public Function GetColorDataItems() As IQueryable(Of DynamicContent) ' Fetch a collection of "live" and "visible" color items that is selected / conained in the current Product Dim dynamicModuleManager As DynamicModuleManager = dynamicModuleManager.GetManager() 'Get the Type for the Color Dim FarveType As Type = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType("Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.Produkter.Farve") 'Set the product Guid Dim Productguid As Guid = New Guid(Me.hdnProductId.Value) '("2f0bcd28-a68f-6507-ad29-ff00003013e0") 'Get the Product item as DynamicContent Dim produktItem As DynamicContent = RetrieveProduktByID(Productguid) 'Get at list of Guid's that are selected on the product Dim assignedColors = produktItem.GetValue(Of TrackedList(Of Guid))("Farve") 'Get a collection of all the colors based on each selected guid (assignedColors) Dim FilteredCollection = dynamicModuleManager.GetDataItems(FarveType).Where(Function(i) i.GetValue(Of TrackedList(Of Guid))("Farver").Contains(assignedColors)) Return myFilteredCollectionEnd FunctionHi Again
I found a solution written by Vasilev in May 2013, where he actualy have written how to first get alle the itemsid guid from the current record and then filter releated content from other types. If anyone needs this is here: http://www.sitefinity.com/blogs/veselin-vasilev-blog/2013/05/29/working-with-related-dynamic-content-items-in-sitefinity
